As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote If your child is completely average in every way, and you want them to remain average for the duration of their childhood (average also includes acting and dressing, and speaking like typical video game playing, undisciplined children who are not being taught to act or dress differently at school) this school will probably be fine for you. If you want a focus on real academic achievment, fulfilling true potential, and striving for excellence send them to private school. If there is any problem at all with your child (real or falsely perceived) you will be singled out and called in for the most minor personality quirk. They won't take responsibility for any shortcomings, they blame everything on large class sizes (which are not very large) and make you feel like something is wrong with you or your child- when in reality they just can't or won't deal with anything using common sense. They make teaching way harder than it needs to be by overanalyzing and jumping the gun to make assumptions instead of having confidence in the childrens' ability to learn and master new skills (which then instills that confidence in the child) So if you want that sort of education for your child, and are concerned with state test scores only, this school will be fine for you. My child deserves better and I will make sure he gets it. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
